Getting to know UAA Human Services Department...

The central foundation of the UAA human services degree programs is the optimistic
embrace of change and a belief in the future. Therefore, the programs' theoretical
foundation is composed of conceptual bricks supporting change from the differing perspectives
of adult education through Mezirow's Perspective Transformation (1994), Psychology
through Prochaska, Norcross and DiClemente's Change Theory (2005) and Bandura's Self-Efficacy
Theory (1997). This multidisciplinary foundation flowers into a web of classroom
and experiential learning opportunities reflecting the breadth and depth of contemporary
human services.
